CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS AND BATTERY CONSIDERATION

BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS

A new set of batteries should always be fully charged before using your scooter. New batteries may not perform to their peak during the first few weeks of use. The life expectancy of your batteries will be increased by charging them fully on a consistent basis.

Make sure that the charger is in the “GEL OR SEALED BATTERIES” setting.

DO NOT USE LIQUID ACID BATTERIES IN YOUR SCOOTER.

1.Connect the charger to the Charging Socket located on the tiller and connect the charger into a 115 VAC outlet.

2.Verify that the yellow “charging” and the red “power on” indicator lights are lit before walking away from your scooter.

3.The indicator lights will start alternating between “Green” and “Yellow” when approaching full charge. When fully charged the “Green” light will remain on.

REQUIRED BATTERY CHARGING IN STORAGE

The batteries must be charged regularly whether the scooter is used or not. It is important to recharge the batteries even when the scooter is in storage for a period of time such as during the winter. Failure to recharge the batteries over several months will completely deplete the batteries and they may need to be replaced. Note: All batteries experience a decreased capacity in cold temperature. Please consider this when planning your trips.

NOTE: The scooter will not operate when the charger is plugged in.

Call your dealer for servicing if:

∙The indicator light does not show yellow shortly after plugging in the charger and you are sure that the batteries are not fully charged.

∙The indicator light does not show green after charging for over nine hours.

BATTERY SPECIFICATIONS

Your scooter is powered by two deep cycle gel cell size U1 batteries.

Gel cell batteries are spill proof and maintenance free. They are the only battery type that commercial airlines will carry.

CAUTION: BATTERY CHARGING, MAINTENANCE AND TESTING SHOULD BE DONE WHERE THERE IS VENTILATION. GASES EMITTED FROM RECHARGING BATTERIES ARE EXPLOSIVE AND MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE.
